IASPM-US President’s Address
On behalf of the United States branch of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music, I welcome you to our 2014 conference, “Music Flows.” This year’s conference is hosted by one of the oldest public universities in the United States, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Largely buried underneath the historic campus is a small creek, first named in the 1907 History of the University of North Carolina (and still visible on Google Maps today) as The Meeting of the Waters. The ground it drains seems a highly auspicious one for a scholarly consideration of flow, liquidity, and circulation. From the licit or illicit circulation of songs to the melting of glaciers, popular music— and the world in which it exists—faces a future in which the status quo is quite literally in flux. With seemingly solid foundations melting away, we face a moment of productive instability, in which new potentialities emerge even as life as we know it may be dramatically transformed. As usual, the flow of ideas on this theme at our conference will be totally unrestrained (our get-togethers are something like drinking pop music scholarship from the proverbial fire hose) and we expect the flow of conviviality and libation to be similar. We are gushingly grateful to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for hosting us this year, and offer particular thanks to the Center for the Study of the American South, the Department of Music, and the Southern Folklife Collection for their direct support of the conference. We also thank the UNC Office of the Provost for additional support and are happy to be part of the pan-campus theme of Water in our World, providing the perspective of humanities scholarship and our study of popular culture.
I would like to acknowledge the intellectual leadership and hard work of Marina Peterson (Ohio University), who chaired this year’s program committee, along with that of the other members: Jerome Camal (University of Wisconsin–Madison), Benjamin Court (UCLA), Mark Katz (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill), Ali Colleen Neff (College of William and Mary), Josh Ottum (Ohio University), and Mark Pedelty (University of Minnesota). They have built an impressive program of panels and talks from your wonderful submissions. We also owe a large debt of thanks to Jocelyn Neal, Professor of Music at UNC, as our local host. She has taken total responsibility for the onerous task of coordinating local arrangements, securing multiple sources of funding, and providing a team of 2 volunteers (thank ‘em when you see ‘em) to organize all aspects of this year’s conference. Our cup runneth over.
I would like to invite this year’s attendees who are not yet members to visit our excellent website (http://iaspm-us.net/) to learn more about our organization. Mike D’Errico (UCLA) is our current web- editor, and he has filled its pages with useful links and quick, provocative and insightful takes on a wide range of popular music issues. (The next post could be one of yours—contact him if you feel so inspired.) I would also like to call your attention to our scholarly journal, The Journal of Popular Music Studies, which is published quarterly by John Wiley & Sons. Our new editorial team, Gayle Wald (George Washington) and Oliver Wang (CSU Long Beach), will continue to represent the most cutting-edge and consequential scholarship in popular music studies, and they welcome your submissions. (Like JPMS on Facebook and see what’s up at: https://www.facebook.com/popmusicstudies.)
This conference is my first as President of this organization, and I feel like I’m just getting my feet wet. I look forward to seeing you all at the Meeting of the Waters. Bring a towel!

Welcome to Chapel Hill!
We hope you will have a chance to explore our campus and community while you are here.
We have a rich tradition at UNC of addressing popular music through research, teaching, performance, archival preservation, and public dissemination of knowledge. We are so pleased to welcome many former students, colleagues, researchers, and friends back to campus, and if this is your first visit, we hope you will return again soon.

Center for the Study of the American South 410 East Franklin Street Chapel Hill Thursday, March 13, 5:30–7:30 p.m.
Live Music from Bevel Summers:
Bevel Summers performs with the philosophy of quick draw pistoleer the Sundance Kid from the famed 60's post-modern Western: “I’m better when I move.” Likening comparisons from Johnny Cash to The Wailers to Fleetwood Mac and back, at a Bevel Summers show, you’ll find yourself singing along with choruses that seem to burst through the confines of whatever hole-in-the-wall joint or basement the band is playing.
Art Exhibition: “From Haiti to Mt. Olive,” featuring paintings by Michel Obin and Faustin Dumé.
The Center for the Study of the American South serves Carolina & the community through research, scholarship, lectures, conferences, and arts events. Extending the University’s historic role as a leader in regional service and scholarship, our diverse programs reflect our commitment to strong research and scholarship on the history, contemporary experience, diverse cultures, and global context of the South.

7 surf, R&B, rockabilly, and swamp pop, all the while driving fans into ecstatic, sweat-drenched paroxysms of joy.
The exhibit features photography by Kent Thompson and Michael Benson as well as instruments, posters, recordings and ephemera from the SCOTS Collection in the Southern Folklife Collection.
